Can son file defamation case against mother’s false claim?
My friend’s mother filed a maintenance case and falsely claimed that she sold her property on his advice and that he took all the money. In reality, she gifted the land to her other two sons. We have all documents. Can my friend file a defamation case against her, civil or criminal?

Your friend can file a criminal defamation case or a civil defamation suit since the claim is false and damages his reputation. The property was gifted, not sold—documentary proof will help. Defamation must be intentional, so strong evidence is needed. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
